Why Inexperienced Writers Struggle in Academic Writing
My Paragraph for future COM/155 Students or inexperience academic writers
Academic and professional writing is a process that involves a sequence of structured steps. Many inexperienced writers struggle because they treat writing as a single shot effort in which a document is drafted all in one sitting. My suggestion to the future COM/155 students in reality writing involves more than just taking a pen ,or computer in hand, and expecting the words to flow perfectly in an organized or focused manner. Most professional writers plan, write and rewrite multiple drafts of a document before achieving a finish product. The process of writing is creative and personalized to the individual writer, but following a series of steps can help you as an inexperience writer eliminate much of the frustration and difficulty many people experience. The writing process has three main parts: pre-writing, composing, and post-writing. These three parts can be divided into five parts, which consist of (1)Planning(2)Gathering/Organizing( 3)Composing/Drafting(4)Revising/editing (5)Proofreading. These are my instruction to the future COM/155 Students, and here is an outline for you to follow to help you become successful writers. A: Planning
1. Determine General Purpose
2. Determine Appropriate Tone
3. Choose a topic
4. Write a Statement of Purpose
B: Gathering/Organizing
1. Practice Divergent Thinking
2. Practice Convergent Thinking
C: Composing/Drafting
1. Write One Section of the Rough Draft at a Time
2. Write connecting Devices
D: Revising/Editing
1. Begin with Higher Order Concerns
2. Finish with Lower Order Concerns
E: Proofreading
1. Print a Hard Copy for Review
2. Read “Hard Copy” Aloud
3. Use “Cover Sheet” for Line by Line Review
4. Get Feed Back From Others
